Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: A little too cute, but enjoyed the "spiky" main character Comment: A little cute, as far as graphics go, for my taste. However, I really liked the "spiky" main character and enjoyed the story. My Faith in Frankie is still my favorite Mike Carey in graphic form...but this comes in second. Customer Rating: Summary: Young teens love this book Comment: This is the second in the series I've bought for my granddaughter. She really enjoyed it. Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome Tale! Comment: A savvy bookseller I know said a friend of his wrote a review in the NY Times saying
that graphic novels are fiction dumbed down(Here I go with another one of my counter reviews):
Re-Gifters is fantastic! Especially for someone like me, 46 y.o., who wants to get a clue
about what teenagers think about today. Don't miss this Minx series! Also, if this
NY Times reviewer has never read Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis and/or
Persepolis II(plus any number of other graphic novels today), she's got another thing coming
re: the intelligence of certain graphic novels.
